192 days were sunny, the rain stopped, and Lao Wang felt that he could do it again!
"Okay, the hardest thing is over, I heard that the new drama has eyebrows? You guys looked like you were looking for a car sponsor some time ago? Do you need my help? ”
After talking about the cooperation with a flash short video, Lao Wang relaxed, his waist was not stiff, and he lay back.
Zheng Xu glanced at Lao Wang, and didn't hurry to speak, this old brother deserves to be his lucky star.
Just now, Lao Wang's sentence of saluting first and then soldiering inspired Zheng Xu a little.
Since the French car companies don't appreciate the salted fish, why can't they also give them a salute before the soldiers?
Now that the first salute has failed, let's go back to the soldiers!
The approximate theme of his new drama is the story of the male protagonist driving a high-performance, extremely sci-fi car to punish evil and promote good!
The core of the story is very simple!
Most of the themes of Zheng Xu's previous TV series are very young and novel, and the audience is also biased towards young people.
Although it can still be a little famous in Asia, as long as it is out of the cultural circle of Yanguo, the farther away, the lower the influence.
Take "Tomb Road" as an example, this thing can't be sold in Africa, right?
Although through the efforts of the marketing department, the disc copyright was sold, but the effect, just like that, Africans can't understand the meaning of tomb robbery, what underground tomb specifications, what thousands of years of cultural relics, they only know that there are mines underground!
In addition to "Heartless Daochang" and "I Have a Date with a Zombie", which are spread better in the United States, Lao Mei should be lively, they prefer the plot of Yanguo's spells flying all over the sky and fighting demons and monsters, and it is fun to watch.
You have to ask them what the plot means? Their audience sometimes couldn't even tell the difference between a monk and a Taoist priest.
In Zheng Xu's previous life, he was in China, and he had heard of British dramas, American dramas, Australian dramas, local dramas, Indian dramas, Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and other TV dramas from messy places, but it seems that there are few Chinese dramas in the overseas West?
Now with the increasing fame, the more Zheng Xu watches TV series, the more he watches, the more he feels that he needs to change.
There is no shortage of directors for TV dramas in China, but there is a shortage of directors for international TV dramas!
Zheng Xu has considered more than once, can he make the TV series more international and spread to more countries and regions?
But limited by history and culture, the history of Yanguo is too long, and some things that seem to be easy to understand in the eyes of domestic audiences, but in another place, in the eyes of foreigners, they will be confused, and they can't understand it!
I can't read it, how can I read it! Who will watch it, and not everyone likes to watch the excitement like Lao Mei.
Since it is not feasible to use historical and traditional culture as a breakthrough point, Zheng Xu changed his thinking and began to study the versatility of movies and TV series.
The first thing he pulled out to study was Hollywood movies and American dramas.
I have to admit that the cultural invasion of Americans is still very successful, and the fact that Hollywood movies have been able to fly all over the world in recent years is also the result of the efforts of the Americans to engage in cultural invasion for decades.
Take Transformers as an example, how many fans are there in the world?
All kinds of peripheral products can sell well, but what is the core of itself?
Isn't the core of the story of Transformers that Americans use the power and excuse of aliens to save the world?
Have you found that this thing is a rotten routine that our ancestors of Yanguo have played with money for thousands of years?
What? You don't believe it?
Have you ever heard of He's Bi?
What words are engraved on the jade seal?
Ordered by the day of longevity and Yongchang!
Is there any Yanguo person who doesn't know these eight words?
Through thousands of years of emphasis, through the blessings of the emperors of various dynasties, this thing has a magical power, as if whoever gets him is the son of destiny!
Don't think this thing is a joke, during the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shu was the emperor, who gave him confidence and courage?
It was this heirloom jade seal that gave him courage!
There are countless historical events in the future, but when summed up it reflects a routine, when a thing, or a form of routine, is emphasized countless times for a long time, most people will choose to believe!
This is the same routine as Hollywood's cultural invasion through film and television propaganda to brainwash!
The United States, as a country with a history of only more than 200 years, what culture can they have?
Their only culture is to tell the world that they are good and that they can save the world, no matter what!
This kind of scary thing to think about, Zheng Xu didn't want to pay attention to, it was useless to think about it, he couldn't stop it now.
But through these studies and observations, Zheng Xu found that some new elements and themes can be used to shoot general-purpose TV series.
Transformers is there, and he can't shoot it, but what about shooting a powerful car?
If this car can't be transformed, but it is extremely intelligent and has strong combat effectiveness, wouldn't it be able to rub off on the heat of Transformers?
With this line of thinking, since there are some things that can't be changed, then temporarily add them to the system of the Rubi people, and stuff private goods in the market opened up by the United States!
Lao Mei has been saving Blue Star for decades, and she is tired, it's time to take a break, the people of Yanguo, who have a tough personality and are not afraid of hardship, are willing to take over the burden of Lao Mei and share a little for him!
Lao Mei, you rest for a while, I'll help you save the world first, you go home to nurse the baby first, and then call you when I'm tired!
Following this line of thought, Zheng Xu picked out a very old American drama in the player, wrote the story roughly, and handed it over to the special screenwriting department to start producing the script, which also led to the need for a car company sponsor.
This thing is waiting to be filmed, although there is no guarantee that it will become popular all over the world, but its influence is definitely higher than Zheng Xu's previous TV series! Just because it's easy to spread!
Now the French don't know each other!
Zheng Xu thought, since the protagonist has a "chariot" in this new drama, what about the cars of the villain and supporting characters?
Just use the French car!
If you don't have a face for you, don't blame me, the supporting character has no money to buy a good car, so he can only drive a tattered French car, this story makes sense.
By the way, let the villain supporting characters complain a few more words about how the French car is garbage, it makes sense, right?
In the end, the garbage French car was dry exploded by the protagonist.
"Bang~"
He doesn't believe it, now the French car companies can't sit still, and when the time comes, let you turn around and beg you Master Zheng not to mess around!
At that time, French car companies want to sponsor again, but it is not at this price now.
Since I can't get you, I can't destroy you?
...................
"Brother, don't worry about it, we are about to negotiate with the car company, the project is still in preparation, and when the project is officially ready to be approved, let's sign the contract step by step."
Through these years of hard work, Zheng Xu has suppressed and pulled step by step, Penguin Video has changed from a partner who needs to provide script review from a flash media to a partner who only needs to inform them of the plot and then talk about cooperation, to now, Zheng Xu needs to shoot a new drama, only need to reach out and ask for money, and they Penguin Video only use a ruthless ATM that is responsible for funding part of the capital.
The confrontation in this was exchanged for Zheng Xu's temptation for several years, and it was also Lao Wang who was conceded and let out by Zheng Xu's strength step by step.
There is helplessness and sadness, but now that the two sides have exchanged positions, this is already the best result.
The reason why Lao Wang mentioned it was also a habit to become natural, reminding Zheng Xu not to forget him, although when he was just promoted, Zheng Xu sent him a heavy gift to stand on the platform and strengthen his momentum, but that is the difference between the position, as a partner, Zheng Xu will not drop the chain at the critical moment, will not pit friends, shoot with atmosphere, position and attitude resolute!
But when it comes to the specific cooperation between the two sides, it is the difference between interests, who occupies a little more and who is stronger, this is all interests, and this has to be said separately!
Friendship is friendship, cooperation is cooperation, and it cannot be confused!
"Haha, okay! Talking to my brother is neat, atmospheric! I've been here for less than an hour this time, and we're done talking, so you can arrange it in the evening! Brother hasn't had a drink with you for a long time, let the horse come! Let's see how much I've been drinking lately! ”
Lao Wang is in a good mood, and people have become tougher, as if he is still a little floating, and his words are extremely heroic!
These words impressed Zheng Xu a little bit at him!
Every time he said this before, Lao Wang couldn't stand it for more than an hour every time, and more than a pound of liquor was revealed in its original form.
Zheng Xu took out his mobile phone and hurriedly booked a hotel, since Lao Wang wanted to "find death", he must be arranged to understand!
.....................
In the evening, a private restaurant in Zhongzhou City, which is a small restaurant that is not open to the public.
It's not a club system, but it's also a membership system in disguise, only entertaining acquaintances you know, although the dishes are not very high-end, but some dishes can't be eaten outside!
It's not that there are any illegal ingredients here, but there are some alternative ingredients that can't be sold in general restaurants, or can't find ingredients, but they can book them, mainly because the environment is good, whether it's a conversation or a secret meeting, it's extremely safe.
Zheng Xu took Lao Wang into the private room, and Xiao Kai took Lao Wang's assistant to open another table outside, and they ate their own.
Lao Wang looked at Zheng Xu carrying two paper bags in his hands, four bottles of Wuliangye!
Swallowing his saliva, Lao Wang's voice was a little unnatural: "Brother, there's no need, I'm just talking, these four bottles are a bit much, right?" ”
Zheng Xu didn't answer at all, wasn't he very tough in the afternoon?
Want to beg for mercy now? It's late!
Here today, in Zhongzhou City, no one can save you, just the two of them, Zheng Xu can drink at least four Lao Wang! You don't need to bring a helper.
As far as Lao Wang's catty of liquor is concerned, it is already a huge amount among southerners, after all, everyone's living environment is different, and this kind of high-grade liquor is still drunk more by northerners.
The dishes were served by the waiter one by one, until a plate of dishes that didn't look good was served, Zheng Xu waved his hand to the waiter to stop her introduction, and asked her to go down first, without her introducing it in person.
"Does my brother know what is special about this dish?"
Lao Wang pouted and looked at the dish in front of him, how to say it, just look at the appearance is a bit like a cow's hoof tendon, but the color is not so dark, a little white, and then look a little like a yellow throat, but it looks slightly thinner than the yellow throat.
Now that Zheng Xu can ask him about this dish alone, he must be particular.
This Lao Wang is very experienced, he was not sensible before, when he first came to Zhongzhou to find Zheng Xu, he was introduced by a group of them, each dish and each dish, and he said that he was a toast, and in the end he didn't eat a few bites of the dish, and people were stunned.
"Could it be that there is something special about this dish?" Lao Wang didn't want to guess, and was ready to see how Zheng Xu wanted to trick him into drinking.
"Hey~ Does my brother know what the effects of deer antler wolfberries and the like are?"
Zheng Xu asked an irrelevant topic.
“???”
"Isn't it to replenish the body, aphrodisiac?"
Lao Wang didn't have any special research on some ingredients, but men, as long as they are old, they are very concerned about some ingredients with special effects!
For example------ aphrodisiac!
This effect is something that ordinary men can't resist at all! When in doubt, throw it out!
"Haha, not exactly!" Zheng Xu lit a cigarette, licked the corners of his mouth that were a little dry, and continued: "Like deer antlers, wolfberries and the like, the more accurate effect is to tonify the kidney, but the tonic kidney is still a little short of aphrodisiac, it has an effect, but it is not obvious." ”
After saying this, Zheng Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to the dish on the plate and said: "This dish is different, this is a very unique but rare object on the cow, a little bit on the cow, plus cooking, shrinkage, we are now on the plate is the amount of three cows, this thing can't be eaten more, but the effect is immediate!" ”
Lao Wang's eyes lit up all of a sudden!
What does it mean to have an immediate result?
It's hard and long!
It's a verb!
At this moment, Lao Wang was not confused at all!
"Brother, is this Niu Bao? I've never heard of this effect. ”
Lao Wang's curiosity about this dish has skyrocketed!
"Knowing the herniated disc in the waist, you can understand that this thing is the thing on the cow, called the osteoderma membrane, only a few on the cow's spine, and there is a little bit of the link between the spine, and if it is too small, it will have no effect."
Zheng Xu is not ready to continue to hang Lao Wang, and starts to talk about this dish, in fact, the effect of this thing, of course Zheng Xu doesn't feel it! He's normal!
But he didn't know that Lao Wang was abnormal, and this was also a dish he specially asked the boss to prepare for Lao Wang.
Think about it, in order to prepare such a dish, people have to buy three or four sets of cow backbones, dismantle them one by one, and finally process and cook, the finished product is such a small plate, think about the price is a bit big.
But for your own people, what is this little money?
"Brother, don't look at this play, it doesn't mean anything, it's the best supplement for the cavernous body, you taste it, you test the test effect at night, and I'll prepare more for you before leaving."
Specifically for cavernous body supplement?!
It is worthy of what Zheng Xu said immediately!
Lao Wang believed it!
I didn't give Zheng Xu politeness at all, I copied several pieces of chopsticks as soon as I went down, stuffed them into my mouth, and didn't taste anything after chewing a few times.
"Brother, if you eat this thing, you have to eat it with liquor, or it will be half as effective."
Zheng Xu raised the wine glass in his hand.
Lao Wang looked at the two or two glasses of liquor in front of him, a little helpless, he was a little unsure whether Zheng Xu lied to him or came to be true, but this thing would rather be believed than not!
"It's done!"
"Haha!"
Zheng Xu looked at Lao Wang and took a sip, the corners of his mouth turned up, no matter how slippery the old fox, a dish will make you drink it willingly, this is not what I poured into you, you want to drink it yourself!
ps: Is this a benefit?! Definitely effective, don't believe you to try it! Trust me!
